Very easy and tasty. Used baby bella mushrooms and added 1/2 cup of pasta water to the mixture. Yummy!
For such a simple dish this is incredibly tasty. It might have helped that I used two types of mushrooms from a neighbor who sells to restaurants. One was blue oyster, not sure of the other. I was hesitant to add the butter because in some dishes I don't like the taste, but in this one it really stands out as a positive. This is exactly the kind of simple recipe that I like where simple ingredients come together to make a complex medley of flavors that work together yet can still be tasted.
Quick and excellent dinner for two. I thought it needed more mushrooms and less pasta so used 10 oz. baby bella muushrooms and 3.5 oz. sliced shiitake; also 12 small cherry tomatoes, 1 clove garlic, 1 large shallot. 8 oz. whole wheat penne. 1/3 c. pasta water, 1/4 c. parmesan, 2 T. crumbled feta, some basil. served with green salad.

As is this is a great, easy, and quick recipe. I have also added a few shallots with the mushrooms and a quarter cup of white wine for extra taste. Pierre Franey recipes are always good.
